Advantages and Disadvantages of Aquaponics

We
covered this briefly during the early part of our research phase but I
though it would be good to provide some additional detail and opinion
now that we have researched aquaponics in greater depth and have some
personel experience. It is obvious (from looking through this site) that I have a bais in favour of aquaponics (we
have invested significant time, energy and money in aquaponics) though I
have attempted to set this aside and provide an unbiased assessment of
some of the claimed advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this
post is is to determine if there is evidence to support the commonly
made claims found on forums and wedsites (and as important some of the perceived claims) and where there isn't to provide an opinion based on our experience and/or the information available.

The emphasis of this list is a discussion relating to back yard systems rather then commercial systems.
